Do i need to enter code or can I just put my message there?

Edit login.php, find

Code: [Select]

pageheader($lang_login_php['login']);
$referer = urlencode($referer);
echo '<form action="login.php?referer='.$referer.'" method="post" name="loginbox">';and replace with

Code: [Select]

pageheader($lang_login_php['login']);
[tt]?>[/tt]
Your custom text goes here
<?php
$referer = urlencode($referer);
echo '<form action="login.php?referer='.$referer.'" method="post" name="loginbox">';You can replace

Code: [Select]

Your custom text goes herein that example with just text or HTML. No need to write PHP code there, as the line ?> is actually a command that means "parsing of PHP will stop, plain HTML will be read. The line

Code: [Select]

<?php turns the PHP mode back on.

Alternatively, you could replace

Code: [Select]

pageheader($lang_login_php['login']);
$referer = urlencode($referer);
echo '<form action="login.php?referer='.$referer.'" method="post" name="loginbox">';with

Code: [Select]

pageheader($lang_login_php['login']);
$referer = urlencode($referer);
echo 'Your message here';
echo '<form action="login.php?referer='.$referer.'" method="post" name="loginbox">';, which would mean that you wouldn't be ending and restarting PHP-processing - your message would be written on the login page using PHP's command "echo".

Either way, I don't think that it's really necessary to write on the login page that you have to register first - that should be pretty self-explanatory, as this is the case on all sites that require authentification. In my opinion, your site visitors will know that they need to register first before they can log in.
